Jan 28, 2016 Even if you are in bed with a heavy case of nostalgia for the late 90's, do not watch this one. Cheap, slow, almost fake. Awful acting from rather talented actors. Jared Leto offers his most Barbie doll-like expressions, while Claire Forlani tries to fool the audience acting as a sensual man eater, she fails miserably. Not to mention the score seems to be taken from a sunday afternoon flick. See more May 20, 2012 Somewhat enjoyable, but the characters are one-dimensional, driven by a single, usually class-based motivation. No real explanations why Basil & his brother give up their lives for women they don't really know; why Julia loves Christian. . . Leto is eye-candy. See more Jan 6, 2012 One of my least favorite Jared Leto movies. He was ok in it though his British accent wasn't too believable. The best parts were Jared saying "Well what?" and Christian Slater seeing his "ugly" face and jumping off the nearest cliff. not the best...

See more Apr 1, 2011 This film is a sad and pathetic assault on ones intelligence. It is an endless parade of improbable and unlikely events strung together in the form, if not substance, of a narrative. Here is an example of the level of thought put into this movie: At one point young Basil scares a little girl by using cellophane tape to distort his facial features. We have all done it. You just tape your nose to one side and you eyelids in extreme angles and you are good to go. There is just one problem. Cellophane Tape was invented by Dick Drew in 1930 and not during Victorian times. This movie belongs to the same dubious subset of films as Endless Love starring Brooke Shields. If you enjoyed that one then queue this up and prepare for a feast. See more Read all reviews
